1t is we'll understood that the science
Of agriculture, in conjunction with its
necessary ally, stock-ra sing. embraces
all the principles of vegetable and ami
NAL life-principles that have engaged
the attention of the profoundest think
ars in all ages. And yet some people.
IN fact "a large majority of the Hers of
The soil, are skept cal of he teachings of
book farming" and absolutely refuse
10 be enlightened by the investigat ons
Of experimental and scientific stations.
This is doubtless largely the result of
a common belief that scientific farmers
are financial fl lures. That belief is
based upon an insufficient and narrow
observat on; but without stopping to
argue against it, and conceding for the
present the truth of the allegation, the
failure of scientists to turn their expert
ments to profit, or 10 make money, is
EASILY understood when it is explained
hat the true scientist-he who studies
nature for the love of knowledge
strives for intellectual wealth first. To
him material prosperity is an accident
al requirement which. while desirable,
IS unworthy OF effort "a the sole object
Of life. Herein lies the distinction be-
tween the scientist and the inventor.
The former studies to learn, merely
that he may enlarge his store of wis.
ION; the latter studies in order that
DE may accumulate wealth. Another
cause of failure among scientists is that
mistakes are unavoidable in the de-
yelopment of any industry in the
discovery of any principle. The in
vestigator suffers by these mistakes;
the man who subsequently follows his
methods does not.
The agricultural literature of to- day.
however, is not purely scientific; that
IS, not merely theory without facts. 1t
IS practical and empirical as well as RAJ
lional. and embraces actual expert
ments in the field-experiments which,
whether profitable to the experimenter,
are still beneficial TO the industry.
Whatever may be the financial condi-
ton OF the scientist. it is nevertheless
a fact that he who reads after the
scientist is immensely profited. -Ier as

A pet scheme with certain philan-
thrOpists for settling tho lndi an que--
ton IS to make him Uhe mdian) a
citizen. This seems cruel irony when
we consider that the red man was the
first cit zen this country had, Of whom
there is any authentic record. And a
frst-class citizen he was. too; opulent
in lands, rich in water privileges and
fabulously wealthy in undeyeloped
mines and oil territory.
He was citizen from the ground up,
aud would be now were he not so fear
fully ground up. Ia that early day he
did all the voting and held all the
offices, and il that doesn't constitute a
citizen we don't know what does.
When meeting Of citizens was sum-
moned to deliberate upon some subject
Of public moment, who but Indians re-
sponded TO the call? They always
elected an aborigine to preside. and
such thing as putting German N
the list Of vice presidents to conciliate
the colored Irish vote was never
thought of.
When Columbu, first landed which
constituted him the first landed propri-
etor, the COMMITTEES of citizens that
came down to Castle Garden to wei
come him was composed exclusively OF
Ind ans And the cit zeus who lin Ell

were all Indians, too. What did it all
mean? Why. il meant That the citi-
zens OF one country were paying their
respects to a representative citizen OF
another country. No thought of deny
ing the right OF cit 2cnship 10 the
Indian then.
Besides being the very first citizens,
the Indians could boast of many ac-
compl shments They were familiar
with the best American literature OF
the day-well red men, in fact sick

though this may be An arrow view to
take of IT, Their tattooing shows that
they knew something OF engraving on
copper. Added TO this they were
versed in music verst in the world.
But all these accomplishments did not
avail them. Another civ lzation and
another form of citizenship, founded
largely on whisky aud naturalization
papers, crowded them out.
We believe it il better to let the In

restore h m to his lost citizenship.
Unable TO comprehend orr institutions
and the system under which our Gov

rob h m, how could he understand the
matchless Constitution of his-we
mean our. country
He couldn't do it. And if he should
become citizen entitled to vote you
couldn't pack convention with him.
He loves the free air. and the smell
emanating from hall packed with
ward bummers would make him so
sick that he would throw up his certi-
ticate OF election as ad elegate and be
thrown out. anyhow. We would like
10 have him tried as a torch bearer in
procession. however. just to see him
scalp the oisiest men in the crowd. as
he would inevitably do. No. tie In

A Pointer for the Parson

An amusing typographical blunder
was perpetrated in Carson, New. re-
Gently. Rev. Van Deventcr sent to tho
Tribune his theme for the following
Sundays discourse. Receipt for the
Cure of Hoodlumism. This appeared
in print as Receipt for the cure OF
Rheumatism, and il had the effect of
crowding the church with people, many
of whom had not attended divine wor.
ship for quarter of a century. and a
considerable number OF whom were
stiffened more or less with rheumatism.
